Abstract: Objective To summarize the diagnostic value of two diagnostic criteria in diagnosis of patients with drug-induced liver injury(DILI) in Chinese population. Methods We searched publications about Chinese patients in journal full-text database,Wanfang database and pubmed database with keywords of drug-induced liver injury,diagnostic criteria,diagnostic scoring system,RUCAM and Maria scale. Literature review,case reports,and duplication data were excluded. Age,gender and diagnostic criteria were summarized. Results A total of 7 papers including 1352 patients with DILI were included in this analysis. The age range of the patients in this series was 2 to 91 years old. Six papers having 997 cases (97.1%) were diagnosed as DILI,and 30 cases (2.9%) were not diagnosed as DILI by RUCAM scale. Four papers having 736 cases(58.8%) were diagnosed as DILI,and 303 cases(41.2%) were not diagnosed as DILI by Maria scale. Conclusion The diagnostic results of DILI by RUCAM scale and Maria scale were not the same sometimes,which warrants further study.
